What about c.): Clearing out the relay keys to recreate the nodes'
identity?

A good option to avoid bruteforces from these "special" countries is to
combine sshd with geo-IP based blocking. I am using a python based
script to block countrys based on their two-letter countrycode. Just
block all the countries you don’t live/work/travel in combine it with
fail2ban, disable root login and you are probably as safe as with key
based logins.
